Does cytokinesis occur in meiosis?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether cytokinesis, the process of cytoplasmic division, occurs during meiosis, which is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half and results in four daughter cells. The query seeks to understand the relationship between meiosis and cytokinesis.

Answer

Twice, after telophase I and telophase II.

Cytokinesis occurs twice in meiosis: once after telophase I and once after telophase II.

Answer for screen readers

Cytokinesis occurs twice in meiosis: once after telophase I and once after telophase II.

More Information

Cytokinesis ensures that the cytoplasm and organelles are equally distributed between the daughter cells, finalizing the cell division process after meiosis I and II.

Tips

Avoid confusing nuclear division (meiosis) with cytokinesis. They're related but separate processes.
